Rates are for the 2016/2017 academic year. Please anticipate an increase for the 2017/2018
academic year.

Roommate Preferences

Do you know someone attending UTC? Would you like to live with them? If so, exchange
full names and UTC IDs. You will need to include this information on your application.

Incoming freshmen can only be matched with incoming freshmen.

Only mutual requests will be considered (all applications MUST match)

Students will only be able to list 1 roommate preference on their application.

If requests are MUTUAL, assignments will be based on the AVERAGE date of all the applications.

For example: Julie completes her application November 2nd. Emma completed her application January 2nd. Julie and Emma have both listed each other as preferred roommates making the request
MUTUAL. Since the request is mutual their application complete dates will be AVERAGED
(November 2nd & January 2nd) to place them together in the pool of applicants. Julie and Emma now have an application
complete date of December 2nd in the pool of applicants.

Roommate preferences are not guaranteed and are subject to room availability.

You may update your preferences at any time. This will NOT change you application
complete date.

Although meal plans are chosen through the housing website, please direct all meal
plan questions to the Mocs Card Office at (423) 425-4109.

Communication between Housing and Students

All communication is through the STUDENT’S UTC email account!

If you have questions you may call 423-425-4304 or email housing@utc.edu from your UTC email account.

We would like to remind you how quickly our housing fills. It is important for you
to apply for housing as soon as you are accepted into the University.

Residential Learning Communities

Residential Learning Communities provide a unique atmosphere for residents who share
common interests and cultivate an environment that supports personal growth through
academic and social programming. Your decision to live in one of these exciting communities
will make an impact on you for the rest of your life. Take the time to read about
the different opportunities to get involved with RLC at UTC!

Assignments are made based on the information the student has provided on their application
and criteria determined by the housing office.

Assignments are made based upon the student’s application complete date (earliest
first).

If you have roommate preferences, and requests are MUTUAL, assignments will be based
on the AVERAGE date of all the applications.

For example: Julie completes her application November 2nd. Emma completed her application January 2nd. Julie and Emma have both listed each other as preferred roommates making the request
MUTUAL. Since the request is mutual, their application complete dates will be AVERAGED
(November 2nd & January 2nd) to place them together in the pool of applicants. Julie and Emma now have an application
complete date of December 2nd in the pool of applicants.

Building preferences will be reviewed in the order listed on a student's application.
Assignments will be made based on room availability.

Assignment Dates & Deadlines

Check your UTC EMAIL ACCOUNT on the dates below.

You will receive either a "You've been assigned" or "Assignment Pending" email.

Not all students will be assigned each date.

Once you have been assigned a room, you will have 10 (ten) calendar days to pay your $225 pre-payment and electronically sign your contract to confirm your room.

Should your plans to attend to UTC change the $225 pre-payment is refundable, with
submitted Housing Cancellation Request prior to June 1, 2017.

Cancellation requests received after June 1, 2017 will result in forfeiture of the
$225 pre-payment.

Failure to agree to the contract AND pay the $225 prepayment within the required 10
days will result in your room assignment and application being cancelled.

Only a certain number of rooms will be assigned on each assignment date.

If you are not assigned a room on an assignment date, your application will remain
active you receive and assignment.

Decline to go to the next round -- You may email housing@utc.edu and request to decline your assignment and be placed back into the pool of applications
for the next assignment date. Choosing to go into the next assignment date does not
change your application complete date. Going into the next assignment date is risky
and does not guarantee that you will be placed in one of your preferred buildings.
Please keep in mind that the number of rooms available is reduced during each assignment
date.

It is university policy that all freshmen live on campus. Should on-campus housing
space become filled, please be rest assured that you will be provided temporary accommodations
(overflow housing) until we can provide you a permanent room assignment.

*** You will receive an email by 5:00pm on assignment dates with your room assignment
information

The building you requested did not have space at the time of assignment to honor
your request.

The request was NOT mutual or there was not enough space within the same apartment
to pair you together.

You may email housing@utc.edu and request to cancel your assignment and be placed back into the pool of applications
for the next assignment date. Choosing to go into the next assignment date does not
change your application complete date. Going into the next assignment date is risky
and does not guarantee that you will be placed in one of your preferred buildings.
Please keep in mind that the number of rooms available is reduced during each assignment
date.

Students who do not pay the $225 within the 10 days will have their application and
assignment cancelled for non-payment. If you still plan to attend UTC, email housing@utc.edu and request that your application be reactivated, you will then be eligible for the
next assignment date.

You may email housing@utc.edu and request to cancel your assignment and be placed back into the pool for the next
assignment date.

Going into the next assignment date is risky and does not guarantee that you will
be placed in one of your preferred buildings. Please keep in mind that the number
of rooms available is reduced during each assignment date.

We do not provide waiting list for specific complexes.

Should your plans to attend to UTC change the $225 pre-payment is refundable, with
submitted Housing Cancellation Request prior to June 1, 2016.

Cancellation requests received after June 1, 2016 will result in forfeiture of the
$225 pre-payment

If two students agree to swap rooms they both must send an email to housing@utc.edu, from their UTC email account, agreeing to the swap. Include in the email: Your name,
UTC ID & your assignment AND the person’s name, UTC ID and room you wish to switch
to. An email will be returned when the requests are mutual and the swap has been completed.

In order to provide the best service for our large student body, assignments are
divided up into 3 categories: Incoming freshmen, Transfers and Current students. Each
group goes through room assignments at different times, therefore students can only
be matched as roommates if they are in the same category.

Residential Learning Community

Make sure you click "submit" for changes to be saved

Residential Learning Communities (RLCs) provide residents a unique, inclusive residential
learning experience that takes education outside of the classroom and allows residents
to learn where they live alongside students with similar academic interests and values.

Please Note: If you apply and are accepted to a RLC you will be assigned a room in the designated
building. Please review the Housing Rates . The application and acceptance process for RLC’s will end in March 2016.

Temporary accommodations (traditionally we have used a local hotel), until we can
provide you a permanent room assignment on campus.

Since assignments are based on when you completed your application, overflow housing
has traditionally been assigned to students that applied for housing late. Please
keep in mind that the application opened November 1, 2016.
